I've written before about the importance of knowing who I am and being able to clearly answer questions about what I like and what I do. It's an ever evolving process, but the changes that came in 2010 helped me to gather this bit of information.

I seek

leading with a whole heart that I often fail to protect.

I stumble.

I drink cloudy beer.

I love dancing freely til 4am.

I'm ¼ Guatemalan and can barely spell Guatemalan.

I like family vacations and reliable friends.

I wear glasses.

I like laid back people with wit and flexible calendars.

I try to be everywhere.

I like brass bands, second lines and happy hours with free stuff. I like dark hair, interesting eyes and a smile that catches you off guard.

I like kissing and telling.

I organize, prioritize and plan.

I cherish moments of seclusion in a tiny corner of my world.

I like Jack Johnson on Sundays and the smell of Star Jasmine. I like to drive home in the sun from a distant place.

I like good witches, shoes, bright colors and feathers in my hair.

I love costumes.

I like booty shakin beats and chick anthems with scorned lyrics. I like documentaries, mocumenteries and non-fiction. I like using unlikely thoughts to connect unlikely dots. I’ll take it smooth with a crunch.

I love improv.

I like self awareness and helping people. I like stretching my body and mind.

I want to be wanted.

I like people who don’t talk too much. I loathe flakes.

I like fixing problems and timing things just right. I accept mistakes and won’t let others force me to sweat the small stuff.

I am over perfectionists.

I leave the engineering stuff to the engineers and the numbers to the mathematicians. I like to watch while you calculate.

I like organized chaos and simplicity in form. I like delicate details of true craftsmen. I like clever solutions and punch lines and games that I’m good at.

I.

can.

be.

abrupt.

I like variety.

I like expensive linens and breaking the ice. I like well seasoned creatures of the sea and soft smooth melted chocolate.

I accept payment in sincere laughs and back rubs. Jeff Buckley is my lullaby.

I like sensational productions and being in front of a crowd. I like walking in New York, grooving in Austin and holding hands in California.
